A couple of assorted politcal things.

"Right-Wing Media Respond To Japanese Nuclear Crisis By Attacking Renewable Energy"

"Fox Attacks Obama's Brazil Trip As A 'Vacation' Then Refuses To Air His Speech"

No comment, because it's just too early in the morning for this crap, and I have to leave for work now.

(EDIT)

And here's Glenn Beck, being typical Glenn Beck:

"Beck: 'The World Is About To Be Plunged Into Complete And Utter Darkness, Despair,' And 'Famine'"

(/EDIT)

"Corporate Hacker Tries to Take Down WikiLeaks"

(Broken, irretrievable, non-Youtube embed removed.)

Stephen Colbert makes this sound way funnier than it has any right to sound.

Interview with Casey Heynes and his family

Casey Heynes, aka the "Zangief Kid".

I agree with Penny Arcade on the whole thing.

In the interest of fairness, here is an interview with Richard Gale, the punk-ass kid who was on the receiving end of the body slam, and his family (and here's a separate, earlier interview with Richard's mom). According to Richard, of course, Casey started the whole thing, and he, Richard, was the one that was being bullied by Casey. Sure. Right.

Even so, while I do think that Richard is getting a lot of deserved flak for this, I don't think he or his family deserve the full unfiltered brunt of the Internet's wrath that they have been getting. You know, random death threats and all that. But then, that's just how the Internet rolls, I guess. :/
